Geeklog Forums

It may be just me but I cannot seem to find anywhere in the Geeklog install where a rss feed is generated from the site is this available for Geeklog?

Im not talking about adding feeds Im talking about a feed being generated from the site itself I did see one in the admin area BUT when it was clicked nothing happened.

If you look at Joomla you will see in the bottom left hand corner various RSS modes than can be clicked AND SEEN by the SE Geeklog should do this as well it would help the users in the long run.

The "Content Syndication" Admin panel lets you create RSS (and Atom) feeds for your site. Is that what you're looking for?

You also have the option there to add a link to the feed to the site header such that it'll show up as an icon in Firefox and other browser. The "RSS Feeds" block on the geeklog.net homepage, however, is just a "normal" block, created manually.

Why when I try to view the RSS feed it ask me to download it I should be able to view a raw feed right?

What happens depends on your browser and how it and your webserver are configured. The correct MIME type for an RSS feed is "application/rss+xml" - check that your webserver is using that. Then check what your browser will do with files of that type.

Of course, RSS feeds aren't really made to be viewed in a browser (unless you use one with a built-in RSS reader, like Safari).
